Here's a write-up of a recent Wikimedia UK-supported event which you might find interesting.

I was one of the trainers for the event and I found it was particularly interesting working with a group of feminists who'd decided the coverage of a particular area on Wikipedia wasn't good enough and were on a bit of a mission to change it....

Subject: [Wikimediauk-l] She must be Wiki editathon - nice write up

Hello everyone,

I've just come across a good blog post about last week's "She must be Wiki" editathon about feminist film. Sounds like everyone enjoyed the event, but that some of the content they created fell a little foul of notability guidelines. 

The blog post is here - http://www.thefword.org.uk/blog/2014/08/ICA_feminist_Wiki-a-thon 

Thank you to the trainers who helped out on the day (the event page says EdwardX and LoopZilla) - it sounds like they are enthused enough to have another event, so well done everyone involved.

Stevie

PS if any editors feel like helping them with their notability issues, then I am sure it would be very welcome!
